Bear spray much more effective than a pistol.

90% effective vs 84% effective and more recent studies are even calling those

Amazing that long guns are shown to be less effective than handguns

A hand gun would be better in close quarters than a long gun.

Sure. It will piss it off and it will kill you faster.

For the record, bear spray is by far the most effective deterrent for bears.

Just cry and yell at the bear. Ask the bear why the bear is eating your kayak.

Find a hiking companion who runs slower than you do.

If a bear attacks, simply shove your arm into its open mouth and down its throat

The gag thing actually works though

Definitely get spray

Don't end up like this, or worse...
Jericho
5/21/17 10:07pm
agreed, this is why you need bear spray
DapperDan
5/22/17 7:06am
Or a firearm...
Jericho
5/22/17 8:38am
Isn't bear spray better than a firearm? A firearm is really just a placebo for
CDV
5/22/17 8:44am
Sure, if you want to get mauled
DapperDan
5/22/17 8:50am
Or if you want to kill an attacking bear
Jericho
5/22/17 8:53am
It's good to want. In the real world, bear spray is more effective.
DapperDan
5/22/17 9:00am
There's some debate about that
Jericho
5/22/17 9:08am
Yes, those who use their gut think guns are better, while those who use facts
DapperDan
5/22/17 9:12am
The numbers aren't so lopsided that it's super clear that bear spray is better
Jericho
5/22/17 9:19am
Just because you love guns doesn't make them the best tool for the job
DapperDan
5/22/17 9:27am
I don't have a problem with bear spray. IMO, I'd carry both if I was that
Jericho
5/22/17 9:35am
The Point about the grizzly bears is that they probably skew the numbers
Jericho
5/22/17 9:39am
According to whom?
DapperDan

Just because you're anti RPG doesn't mean it won't work for me. And you're idea
sgriff

I'm not afraid of a flaming grizzly. Some are just born that way. Bigot.
frontrowcougar
5/22/17 3:25pm
Flaming bears are scary. Just ask Leo Dicaprio's character from "The Revenant"
sgriff
5/22/17 3:37pm
Whoa. Just realized you can combine flaming bears and RPGs. Voila:

You didnt have a childhood if you didnt have a flamethrower as a kid...
Jericho
5/22/17 3:08pm
Well, I did have bug spray and a lighter. Does that count?
sgriff
5/22/17 3:13pm
Depends, is there someone in your party that runs slower than you?
